Today I am rejoined by old friend of the show Dr. Pig Bodine aka CJ (@pussy___teeth) to discuss the 1972 film State of Siege by Costa-Gavras. We begin by reviewing the plot of the film and the real-life events.
From there, we quickly descend into darkness as we discuss the life of Dan Mitrione (beyond all the Jim Jones stuff). This leads us to ask why the field of parapolitics research into MKULTRA has been so incredibly unfruitful since the 1970s and why Operation Midnight Climax has been so thoroughly shitcoated. We're talking deviancy and sexual blackmail operations. We ask what type of "sexual technologies" they developed and what Inquisition techniques have to do with MKULTRA. We raise the spectre of the true nature of personality tests and their horrific usages including aforementioned deviancy blackmail ops and death squads.
Finally, we discuss the question of torture. Don't worry; future episodes are not as bleak.
